Gingrich returning to campaign Thursday in Sun City

Newt Gingrich will be back to the Bluffton area Thursday for his third presidential campaign swing before Saturday’s South Carolina Republican Party primary.

The former U.S. House speaker and Georgia congressman is scheduled to campaign from 9-10:30 a.m. Thursday at Magnolia Hall in Sun City. Attendance at the event, sponsored by The Republicans of Sun City Hilton Head, is limited to Sun City residents only, a club official said.

From there, Gingrich will go to Beaufort for a “town hall” meeting open to the public at 11 a.m. at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park on Bay Street in Beaufort.

At the Beaufort rally, Gingrich is to be joined by wounded veterans and retired U.S. Army Col. Michael Steele, to draw attention to The Independence Fund and its Independence Wellness Center project for severely wounded veterans at Palm Key near Ridgeland, said Beaufort County Campaign Manager James Epley.
